The Republican State conventio

The Republican State convention
in New York is to be held on Sep
TENDER I4th, at Saratoga Springs.
This is probably the most i'm
portant convention that will be held
prior to the assembling of the Repub-
lican national convention. The Re-
publicans of New York, on pro-
gressive, protective, platform, can
certainly secure decided majority
in the Legislature, and probably elect
their State ticket, if the candidates
chosen shall be men who are expo
ncnts of the Republican issues of
today, and we doubt not they will be.
Free rum, free trade, ballot box stuff
hng and fraudulent counting of votes
the apparent stock in trade of the
National Democratic party Of today
are not propositions which the better
class of the New York Democracy will
support very zealously, and hence the
prospects of full Democratic vote is
not encouraging even to the Cleve-
land Democrats, while the Cleveland
mugwumps are on the verge ola bolt.
THE TIMES expects to see the Repub-
leans triumph this fall in Ohio, New
York and Massachusetts,. on platforms
declaring specially, as the Ohio plat
form does, for protection to Ameri-
can industrial interests, which means
protection to American wage workers.

Charles Chapman of Owosso, form
erly OF st. Johns, has commenced
suit for $4,000 against A. J Nelson,
re,ire5 capitalist and respected
citizen OF St. Johns, charging him
with having alienated the affections
OF Nus. Chapman. The suit was be-
gun in the Shiawassee circuit court,
Jerome Turner appearing as attorney
for Chapman. Mrs. Chapman lived
with Park Waters for some time
prior 20 his death last fall, her repu
tation is not such as Caesar demand
ed IN wife. The icea that she ever
had $4,000 worth OF affection for
Chapman makes those who know the
parties smhe. Mr.. Nelson denouuces
the suit as rank attempt at black
mail and says Chapman's attorney
wanted small amount of cash for
his client to pay off mortgage on
the latter's property. Mr., Nelson
refused to pay anything. Mrs. Chap
man says that Mr.. Nelson has not
spoken to her in seven or eight years.

Dear Sirs; About three months ago,
nslicing letter addressed to you in
the Bee from Gen. Slevin, in refer
ence 10 the cure of his son by the
use of Halls Catarrh Cure, we were
induced to commence the use Of it
for our daughter Nellie now fourteen
years old, who has been suffering
from catarrh for about eight years,
during which lime she has been treat
ed by one OF the best physicians in
the city. We have also tried the
use of almost all the known remedies
| for catarrh. with no more success
than temporary relief. Many nights
have we laid awake 10 hold her mouth
oren to keep her from strangling.
Her hearing had also become affect
ed. We were afraid that she would
never recover. We have now used
six bottles Of Halls Catarrh Cure,
and we believe Nellie to be entirely
cured. In few days after com
mencing the use Of it we noticed a
decided change for the better, and
from that right along she has inn
proved, until now she brcathes as
easily as any one. She sleeps we'll
and her hearing is perfectly good.
We feel that the disease is entirely
removed. We write this unsolicited
letter, feeling that it is due you, and
with the hope that other may be ben
Gifted in like manner. We can
hardly realize that such a change
could be effected IN so short a time
after battling with the disease so long.
We are still using the remedy at in
tervals, as it seems to build up her
system. You are at liberty to use
this in any manner you see proper.
We are yours, truly,
Mr.. and Mrs. S. BALDWIN,

The TINES cannot help expressing
surprise at the course Of the New
York Independent on insurance mat
tiers. The fact is "The Compact"
as they are pleased to term the com
blnaton which exists for securing
rates for insurance that are little less
dishonorable than open highway rob
berry, and to the maintenance of
which they devote whole columns, is
one Of the most gigantic monopolies
extant. To such an extent had this
oppression been carried in Michigan
that the people demanded Of the
Legislature at. the last session it posi-
tive prohibition, and all insurance
combinations were made misde
meanor. That they should have been
made a felony is public opinion in
this State Thata liberal paper, as the
Independent is, even for money. be-
cause it is an open secret that all
such articles are paid for at high rates,
should endorse "The Compact, is
past comprehension. The Independ
ent claims to be moral and religious
journal of a high character, and, but
for the publication of such articles,
would be regarded as par excellence.
Is it not time for the publisher to call
halt in this matter?

Ashley Argus: Mr.. Clutterbuck,
our highly esteemed boot and shoe
merchant, had finally decided to
move his family to Ashley, and his
household goods arrived here Friday.
On Saturday they were moved into
the upper store OF his shoe store, and
he commenced setting things to rights.

Bloody Shirt

Special to the Herald
WEST DALLAS, July 20--I thought
the Republicans had a monopoly on
"bloody shirt" arguments, and |
would like to inquire if the ants have
bought the patent or gone in partner
ship with them? | saw yesterday a
paper from them, calling the attention
of Southern men, to what purported
to be an amendment to the constitu.
ton of Kansas in 1866, prohibiting
Confederate soldiers from voting. or
holding office in that State. If there
was such law in Kansas il was a
"dead letter" in 1871, for | lived in
that State sixteen years ago and voted,
spoke my sentiments freely, and was
not molested, and the people knew |
had served in the Confederate army.
The Democratic member to congress
from the district | resided in had been
a Confederate soldier also.
Permit me 10 say in conclusion that
all the stale eggs, rocks, falsehOods and
bloody Shirt arguments will not de-
crease that $4,000 majority conceded
TO the prohibitionists.
Respectfully,
II. G. ROBINSON.
